You can see the pain on dudes face. He seems like good guy

[annabanabanana]

Hearing that a girl literally pushed him pisses me off. I can’t imagine pushing a man and belittling him because he’s short. WTF.

[yikesbye]

as a 5’3 man it’s really refreshing to see a man who is actually short and not like a little bit under 6ft.

[ShuffleLord]

5’2 guy here. I feel you my dude. I feel you deeply.

[_Cupid]

I actually feel waay more bad for the guy than the girl...

[Doglover-ghut]

I’m a 5’2 guy and I’m so happy that they finally have an actual short guy and not a guy who’s 5’8 and complaining

[TriangIe]

As a guy who is 5’4, it literally angers me when 5’10 and 5’11 guys say “iM sO sHoRt!!!”

My best friend is six feet tall and she exclusively dated short guys from the 5’ 2” to 5’ 6” range. I thought this was odd but cute, and she was never able to explain it but then I a found an online discussion with tall women (I think from a tall girl forum) with the same taste.

Some of the common arguments from these women were that short guys were the only ones who could relate to their struggles with height in a society where being on either extreme made you less of a man or woman. Some were sick of the toxic masculinity and macho behavior from insecure taller men constantly trying to prove themselves as alpha males and stronger than them (Or the ridicule from his friends and family about dating a woman bigger and manlier than him.) One expressed that the world was not made for short men and tall women and hoped that by finding a short husband their genetics would mix and produce an average sized child who could fit in better and have a better life, and many others agreed with her.

Danny Devito talked in an interview how as a short guy he faced rejection over and over until he started asking the tallest girls at his high school out who were otherwise ignored out of embarrassment and insecurity and how they developed bonds.

Girls be talking about body positivity and then announce how tall her man needs to be like she's a rollercoaster ride😪 shoutout to all the girls who don't give af

[paracelse]

Being a very short man is one of the most powerful social stigmas that exists and it is rarely denounced.

[heyitsjujuu]

I'm 5'8" and my love is 5'2". I just melt with him.

[joepic]

Bing a short man is a lot worse than being a tall woman

[alenacorbett]

I feel so bad for the man. He seems so sweet and he just wants love. Same for the woman

[teddynasrpiano]

Why does every girl says i need a guy to protect me ... are we living in a jungle wtf?

[Karma-hyki]

I’m NEVER gonna complain about being 5’9 again

[survirusivus]

For my fellow Not-Americans:
They are 1, 57m and 1, 93m tall.

[robinjakobsen]

For any non-american; The dude is 157 cm tall and the lady is 193 cm tall.

Once a man I knew from a college class asked me out for a date. I politely turned him down because I was only interested in women at the time. The man said, "The real reason is because Im short, right?" I was shocked and lost for words for a moment. Then I felt really bad. I said, "No, really! You're a good looking guy, I just like women. It has nothing to do with your height." I could tell he didnt believe me. He walked away with his head down. To this day, I wish I could redo that conversation and be alittle more uplifting.

[danx]

I'm 5'2 myself. I just had a baby son I wish he will grow into a average height. I don't want him to grow what i went through. It is very hard being a short guy

[pofty]

when that guy was telling the story about the girl in the bar it made me cry. I cant believe people are that cruel..
